@NBFurey Wow Nathan you’re too kind!!!

[Kim Whoriskey @kimprobable42]

@CaityBate Thanks friend 🥰 Means so much that you (and Luna) made it!

A year ago we hosted the @OceanTracking ideasOTN telemetry workshop in Halifax. @NBFurey gave one of the most inspired talks I've ever seen on designing and troubleshooting acoustic telemetry projects- archived forever here:

Which statistical technique should you use on your aquatic #telemetry data?

In our new blog post, @kimprobable42 takes us behind her paper 'Current and emerging statistical techniques for aquatic telemetry data', shortlisted for our #RobertMay Prize 2019

Are your tagged animals alive? Our review of 640 acoustic telemetry articles from 2015-19 revealed 50% of ecology/behaviour studies do not consider mortality of tagged individuals despite >11% mortality on average in studies that did investigate it.

Seals: 1. White sharks: probably greater than 1 🦈

[MA Sharks 🦈 @MA_Sharks]

White Shark WS 14-16 aka ‘Scratchy’ was first identified in August 2014. His nickname refers to all the scratches he’s received from seal claws. He was eventually tagged in August 2015. This is the 7th straight year he’s returned with detections already this year off RI.

Thanks for taking the time to speak with me about Yukon River Chinook Salmon @CBCNorth 🐟 🐟 🐟 Times are tough, but so are salmon. We just need to help them recover.

With beaches reopening and warm weather forecast for this week it's important to remember white sharks are here. Be #SharkSmart and review shark safety recommendations. Spread the word so everyone can learn how to stay safe while enjoying the beach: https://t.co/4AkTXiWkwa

There is no excuse for this

Enough is enough

We need systemic changes to policing to end racial profiling and police brutality
